Set-Up Help Please

[KCZ71]

Hi I have read through a lot of threads and it seem the CCM 2 1/2 front and 1" rear is a good leveling kit for my 2011 Z71. My question is about wheel size and tire size. I like the look of 18" wheels but have not seen many 20" wheels, I am open to either. The wheels I like are KMC Addict or Method Standard . Also what tire size can I use without rubbing or cutting with this set up? I like the look of Mud-Terrain T/A KM2, will the 285/70/18 fit, I also like the Nitto Trail 285/65/18. Or should I just stay within the tire size that is stock and skip the leveling kit? Whats your opinion on wheel size and tire size that will fit this set up? Is the Chevy dealership or a tire shop the best place to have this done? Thanks!

With leveling kit 33" tall is about as tall as you want to get.
The 65 and 70 series are about 35" tall. For that you would need a 3.5 rough country lift kit. I'm going with 20x9 +18 offset KMC XD Monsters with a 305 55 20 tire and a 2.5 kit from top gun customs.

The tires that you are looking at will be fine with the 2.5" lift. They are 33.7 and 32.6" tall.

Your tires are 33.2"

I have a great set of 285/65/18 nitto trail grapplers for sale and I had them on with the ccm leveling kit an had minor minor rubbing an a tiny bit of cutting there was no scrubbing. 65 doesn't mean it's 35, the 285/65/18 are more like 32 or 33"
